07-05-23 | Cubs -145 v. Brewers | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee 8;10 ET Cubs over Brewers- Okay, let me look at this objectively. Chicago, the Cubs are six-games under .500 and are visiting Milwaukee who is ix-games over .500 and the Cubbies are prohibited favorites. The reason for the heavy Vegas attitude is Justin Steele (9-2, 2.43 ERA) the Cubs starter has surrendered just 69 hits (only 3 homers) in 86 innings. For Milwaukee it will be Adrian Houser (3-2, 3.88) who has given up 56 hits in just 46 innings allowing five home runs. Cubs 5-1 on road in last six...take CUBS! |

Texas at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Rangers- The problem for Boston is that Brayan Bello (5-5, 3.08 ERA) has been their best hurler this season. Since his first appearance he has posted an ERA of 2.56 and has not allowed more than three runs in any start. Right-hander Jon Gray (6-4, 3.21) will take the hill for Texas and he is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his one career start against the Red Sox. Boston is 26-10 in their last 26 games against the AL West and the Rangers are 1-5 in their last six games against teams with winning records. Take BOSTON! |

07-04-23 | Angels v. Padres -126 | Top | 5-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
LA Angels at San Diego 6:40 ET Padres over Angels- Here we go! San Diego who plays with the passion of a chair has to respond as an American MLB team against starter from a former WWII enemy. Okay, that really has no baring on Shohei Ohtani (7-3, 3.02 ERA) and 12 strikeout per nine innings starts for the Angels. LA who appears to a real contender but once again must be playing without the ‘greatest’ player who never won anything ‘Mickey’ Trout who is begging out now that the Angels have a chance. Padres the biggest underachievers in baseball will send Joe Musgrove (6-2, 3.80) to the hill and he is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA against LA who has lost five of six games. Take SAN DIEGO! |

This will be his first start against Arizona while his counter-part Zach Davies (1-4, 6.54) is 3-3, with a 5.33 ERA in nine career starts allowing 52 hits in just 45 innings with only 30 strikeouts.

07-03-23 | BC -3 v. Toronto | Top | 24-45 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 23 m | Show |
British Columbia at Toronto 7:10 ET Lions (-) over Argonauts- The defending and undefeated Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts are at home and are a field goal underdog at home. This might seem a bit odd and it is other than the Lions are 3-0 and have had three impressive dominating wins. Toronto has a five-yard average offensive advantage but, the BC defense hold a 115-yard per game advantage and that is significant. The Argo’s will rely on a strong run and and stout defense against the run but fall short on both sides of the ball when it is put in the air. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

07-03-23 | Cardinals +118 v. Marlins | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
St. Louis at Miami 6:10 ET Cardinals over Marlins- When St. Louis was 10-24 I was thinking now is the time to watch for a spark that would send them on a hot streak and they haven’t received it yet as they picked up just one-game in 50 games since. Hey, but beating the Yankees with a revenue pitcher on the mound might have them headed in the right direction. One who definitely is headed in the wrong direction is today's starter for the Cardinals Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.44 ERA) allowing five or more runs in three of his last four starts. But, he is 3-1 with a 272 ERA in eight appearances against Miami. The Marlins as usual come up with arms and have another one on the hill today in Braxton Garrett (4-2, 3.53) who has a 1.98 ERA in his last nine starts covering 50 innings, but he is just 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA against he Cardinals allowing14 hits in nine innings. Red Birds are 16-5 at Miami in the last 21 meetings and 38-15 in the last 53 meetings overall. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee 2:10 ET Cubs over Brewers- In the past week or so Milwaukee has started to play better ball and even on the road winning seven of their last 10 while the Cubbies are headed south losing six of their last seven. The Brewers are in a dead-heat with Cincinnati for the top spot in the NC Central with Chicago six games back. The Cubs will start Drew Smyly (7-5, 3.96 ERA) who is off his worst outing of the season and looks to bounce back here. He is 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in three career starts against Milwaukee. Veteran Julio Teheran (2-3, 2.85) gets the nod for the Brew Crew and he is 3-2 with a 4.14 ERA against the Cubs. Take CHICAGO CUBS! |

Houston at Texas 2:10 ET Astros over Rangers- Houston is not used to looking up in the standings and seeing the Rangers with a comfortable AL Central lead. Texas who still leads MLB in runs scored will send Martin Perez (7-3, 4.28 ERA) to the bump and he is a respectable 108 with a 3.24 ERA against the Astros in 20 career appearances.

07-02-23 | Rays v. Mariners -123 | Top | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Seattle 4:10 ET Mariners over Rays- The Mariners who were expected to contend in the AL West are still struggling to reach .500 while Tampa Bay has been hitting (literally) on all cylinders since Opening Day. Seattle is strong favorites here as Luis Castillo (5-6, 2.86 ERA) takes the hill and it is about time he received the support that he has earned. He just broke a 4-game personal losing streak where he had six starts and did not surrender three runs but once and had six quality starts. Tampa Bay has cooled off some and pitching could hamper their efforts. Tai Bradley (5-4, 4.58) has been inconsistent and gave up seven runs in four innings against Arizona last time out.

New York Yankees at St. Louis 2:15 ET Cardinals over Yankees- Ah, the New York Yankees, the biggest impostor in MLB! Except for a few strong arms (which is always a vital factor in winning) they have weak hitting or lack of hitting club, They have little speed and only Judge and Stanton hit for power and they are both sidelined more than in action. Geritt Cole (8-1, 2.78 ERA) is having one of his best seasons but he is up against a huge physiological disadvantage. Jordan Montgomery (5-7, 3.52) had his world and that of his Yankees teammates all shook-up when he for some unknown reason was traded for an injured outfielder. The upset the Yankees karma and they haven’t felt the unity needed since. Revenge is sweet...take ST. LOUIS! |

Arizona at LA Angels 10:00 ET Diamondbacks over Angels- It might seem that Shohei Ohtani is getting all the attention and that is because he is. His 15 home runs in June ties him with Babe Ruth and Roger Maris for most ever in baseball’s shortest month. LA will start lefty Tyler Anderson (4-2, 5.54 ERA) and he is 6-4 with a 5.54 ERA in 18 appearances against Arizona while the D’backs will start Ryan Nelson (4-4, 4.97) who is making his first showing against the Angels.

06-30-23 | Twins +103 v. Orioles | Top | 8-1 | Win | 103 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
Minnesota at Baltimore 8:10 ET Twins over Orioles- it seems a bit odd to me that this game should open a pick-em as the Orioles seem to have such a huge advantage. To start with they are at home which means the Twins who lead the AL Central and are 2-games under .500 are 17-23 on the road. Minnesota will sent Pablo Lopez (3-5, 4.41 ERA) to the hill looking to upset Dean Kramer (8-3, 4.50) who lost his only start against the Twins surrendering five runs in four innings. I expect much of the same today. Take MINNESOTA! |

Houston at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Astros- If they don’t make some kind of move soon the Red Birds of St. Louis will be the dead-birds in the NL Central Division (32-45). With the performance to date of these two clubs and Famber Valdez (7-5, 2.27 ERA) taking the mound it is inconceivable that this game is being put out as a pick-em affair, especially when St. Louis hasn’t named a starters and Framber is 4-1 with a 1,50 ERA in six starts and has allowed more than two runs only twice in 11 starts. Hope the Cardinals starter is Jordon Montgomery (4-7, 3.69). Take ST LOUIS! |

Such is the case for the most part with both of these clubs and it is a struggle, but now they are going at each other which I feel good about. Chicago will send Dylan Cease (3-3, 4.31 ERA) to the hill and after surrendering 11 runs in tow starts he has allowed just 15 earned runs in his last eight starts.

Milwaukee at Cleveland 2:10 ET Brewers over Ohio River Rats- I kind of like the situation here where I have a Cy Young Award winner in Corbin Burnes (5-5, 3.96 ERA) taking the mound against he team he dominates after having his worst outing of the year surrendering seven earned runs in five innings. His dominance over Cleveland is profound as he is 2-0 without allowing a run in two career starts. His worthy mound opponent will be Aaron Civale (2-2, 2.67) he also has two career starts agianst the Brewers but he is 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA and his club is 3-9 in their last 12 inter-league games.

Texas at New York Yankees 1:35 ET Rangers over Yankees- When I was a youngster living with 30 miles of Yankee Stadium with the Bronx Bombers dominating baseball getting to the World Series 9-of-10 seasons. The chant then before free agency was ‘break-up the Yankees.’ Now, they are chanting the same mantra but this time they want to jettison everyone but Aaron Judge out...including most importantly Brain Cashman the GM who has produced only one championship in 23 years and has spent more money on inept players than any other MLB franchise (i.e.-Stanton .179 BA). New York’s Gerrit Cole (8-1, 2.64 ERA) will be opposed by another former Yankees hurler and an All-star team mate to be this season in the Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi (9-3, 2.80). The Yankees are no longer the Bronx Bombers (especially with Judge out) and with the lowest BA with men-on-base they are more like duds at the plate. Final count the Rangers are 10-2 the last 12 Sundays and the Stankees are 1-5 in their last six games after a win. Take TEXAS! |

The Red Birds will send veteran hurler Adam Wainwright (3-1, 5.56 ERA) who has had 48 career appearances against the Cubs and is 19-14 with a 3.89 ERA in his 17 years in the Big Leagues. This season his WHIP is 1.67 which is by far a career worst. Chicago starter Justin Steele (7-2, 2.71) has surrendered 12 less hits than innings pitched while Wainwright has giving up 16 more hits than innings in 37 frames, not so good. Cubs 6-1 in last seven against right-handed starters and Dead Birds don’t fly here being 1-5 following a loss. Take CHICAGO CUBS! |

Montreal and Hamilton 7:30 ET Alouettes (+) over Tiger-Cats- Okay, straight-up no foolin! I do not see either of these team making it to the Grey Cup, but it does set nicely for Montreal. To start with they already have a win under their belt as they won their opener at home over Ottawa 19-12 two weeks ago. So, entering with two weeks to prepare off their bye the Alouettes should handle the 0-2 and offensively challenged Tiger-Cats who will be facing a defense that surrendered just 231 yards i their victory. Alouettes are 24-11 ATS in their last 35 games on the road while Hamilton is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after a loss. Take MONTREAL! |

The Mets most effective hurler is a 30-year old rookie from Japan, Kodai (6-4, 3.53 ERA) who has given up just 54 hits in 73.1 innings. He mound foe will be former Met Taijuan Walker (7-3, 4.31) who is 0-2 with a 3.14 ERA in three career starts against New York.

San Diego at San Francisco 4:35 ET Padres over Giants- Why would anyone ‘play’ on San Diego the after the way they take the field with no urgency at all having lost their last four games. The Giants on the other have reached double-digits with their current win streak now looking for their eleventh straight victory. Well, if you think San Fran is hot check out the Padres starter Blake Snell (3-6, 3.48 ERA) who was infamously removed from a post season game having surrendered only one hit at the time and has not been the same since then. But right now Snell is the hottest pitcher in baseball having surrendered just 10 hits in his last four starts fanning 39 in just 25 innings (now that is Bob Gibson stuff). He is 3-1 with a 2.51 career ERA against the Giants while Alex Wood (2-1, 4.11) the Frisco starter is 6-4 with a 3.14 lifetime ERA against the Padres. Despite the possible 4-game sweep for the Giants San Diego is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings overall and 6-2 at SF. Take SAN DIEGO! |

He leads the majors in innings pitched and he has thrown 98 pitches or more in 13 of his last 14 starts. he averages a strikeout an inning and has allowed just 80 hits in his 95 inning work. I do not like when raid out affect my game schedules as Atlanta just keeps turning out young studs like the starter today Bryce Elder (4-1, 2.69) is not old enough to drink in most states and he is making his 14th of this season. Not bad so far, allowing just 69 hits in 77 innings but it will not be good enough tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

That was yesterday and yesterday is gone and so are the Yanks chances here as Jhoney Brito (3-3, 5.58 ERA) makes his tenth start.

Texas at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Rangers- Baseball is such a game of streaks not only for teams but for individual players as well. We recently have seen the A’s and Reds two very weak teams pull off long winning streaks and usually another streak follows and in the other direction. Nathan Eovaldi (9-3, 2.59 ERA) may be the victim as he just had an eight game winning streak end despite pitching well against the Angles last Thursday (Power Play loss). At 12-games under .500 Chicago is a major disappointment in the AL Central and will send a negative streaker in Dylan Cease (3-3, 4.31) whose White Sox have lost seven of his nine starts whether is receives a decision or not. Cease is 3-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four career starts against the Rangers and Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 5.57 ERA in five games against the Pale Hose. This time it is the WHITE SOX! |

He has posted six straight wins with a 1.512 ERA during that span. Johan Oviedo (3-6, 4.40) starts for the Pirates and he is 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA against Chicago in eight career appearances.

Left-hander James Paxton (2-1, 3.09 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors and he has had limited action because of Tommy John surgery and he is 3-1, 3.17 ERA lifetime against the Twins.

Tampa Bay at San Diego 7:10 ET Padres over Rays- This one we should have thoughts about as the struggling Padres will send former Rays Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell (2-6, 3.78 ERA) who has been just a shell of himself since being removed in the 2020 playoffs. But, pitching against his former team will give him incentive as it was a bitter parting in 2021. Tampa Bay will start Zach Eflin (8-1, 2.97) who after seven years with the Phillies seems to have found himself this season. There is trouble in Diego as the Rays are not only 22-6 against lefties but 6-1 in the last seven meetings. As bad as the Padres appear at times they are 6-1 after a loss. Take SAN DIEGO! |

The White Sox are starting to heat up despite their dreadful loss to the Dodgers last night after blowing a 4-0 lead. Chicago will send Michael Kopech (3-5, 4.03 ERS) who has deserved better fate allowing just 54 hits in 74 innings and believe me that is good, more than very good. Seattle will send rookie Bryan Woo (0-1, 10.80) to the hill and he does have 11 K’s in 6.2 innings. But, it is the White Sox tonight. Take CHICAGO! |

I hate betting this team but i still believe that they are winners tonight. To start with Texas has fallen back of late dropping six of their last eight games and they will be facing Toronto’s top hurler in Kevin Gausman 5-3, 3.12 ERA) who is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA against the Rangers in nine starts.

Tanner Houch (3-6, 5.23 ERA) gets the start for Boston and he has fared better against the Yankees than the rest MLB as he is 2-2 with a 2.41 ERA in 10 appearances against New York. The Bronx Bombers (not without Judge) will start Domingo German (4-34, 3.49) who is 3-2 with a 3.64 ERA against the Sox and he has allowed two runs or less in six of seven starts. But, it is the Red Sox that are 17-5 at home against teams with winning records. Take BOSTON! |

LA Angels at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Angels- Okay, this one should be good as MKB will showcase its biggest attraction since Babe Ruth in Shohei Othani (5-2, 3.88 ERA) who has a legitimate shot before it is over to win both the Cy Young and MVP and it could possibly happen in the same season. But, I truly do not believe it is happening this right now. He starts for the Angels tonight but his overall number from the hill are not as awesome as his a at the plate (leads majors with 21 home runs). The man that will attempted to cool Othani down is Nathan Eovaldi (9-2, 2.49) who will probably steal the CY tonight as he mows this Angels down. He has surrendered just 68 hits in 87 innings pitched. Rangers have the 2nd best record in baseball to Tampa Bay and they have scored the most runs, and more tonight off the hard throwing right-hander. Take TEXAS! |

The Marlins will send lefty Jesus Luzardo (5-4, 3.79 ERA) to the bump and he is 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in five4 appearances against the Sea-birds.Seattle will start Bryce Miller (3-3, 4.46) who was cruising along this season until having to face to Yankees and Ranges in consecutive starts and everything changed. Before those two outings where he gave up 15 earned runs in just seven innings to boost his ERA from 1.60 to where it is now.

From what i have seen I can not see the Heat winning this game but at the same time I believe that their intensity will be at the max. The South Beach boys have responded throughout most when little was expected of them and that is what I am expecting here. Although the 9-points or so is temping to take on a team that will be making their last salvo if eliminated. Take MIAMI! |

Cincinnati at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Reds- If Oakland can win five straight why can’t Kansas City win here, Zack Grienke (1-6, 4.59 ERA) who has had a stellar career is making what I assume is his farewell tour and the way he is throwing it should be...farewell. Grienkle is 8-2, with a 2.38 ERA in 14 career starts against Cincinnati with 13 of 14 quality starts. He will be opposed by Reds right-hander Luke Weaver (1-2, 6.27) who is mist a five-game winless streak and is facing his former team with who he has a 5.59 ERA against. Hold your breather and take...KANSAS CITY! |

Saskatchewan at Edmonton 7:00 ET Elks (-) over Roughriders- These were without question the worst teams in the West and the visiting Roughriders opened a 2.5 favorite and the line has swung 5-points to where the home Edmonton is now the 2.5-point favorite. A swing that in this time of the year is something to respect as information flows. A team that ha gone 0-16 SU and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games has been moved to the favorite. Elks 6.5 foot QB Taylor Cornelius is impossible to contain near the goal line. Take EDMONTON! |

Cincinnati at St. Louis 2:15 ET Cardinals over Red(legs)- He is one of the more exciting and electric young hard throwers in the game and I am speaking of Hunter Greene (1-4, 3.92 ERA) of the former Redlegs now known as Reds. He has given up just a par hits in his last two starts and he gives up less hits than innings pitched but has issued too many free passes. St. Louis has been playing more like Dead-birds than Redbirds and will have future HOF hurler Adam Wainwright (2-1, 5.97) who in his eighteenth season is on the down side of his career (opponents are hitting .326 against him and surprisingly Cincinnati is the team that has tagged him with his most career loses as he is 11-17 with a 5.53 ERA in 40 lifetime appearances. One of those wins came this season and the Cardinals are 10-4 over the Reds in the last 14 meetings.Take ST. LOUIS! |

Las Vegas at Florida 8:00 ET Panthers (ML) over Golden Knights- Okay, we all saw Vegas dominate the first two period in game 3 and yet end up an overtime loser. The key here is how the OT came about. The Golden Knights were on the brink of going up 3-0 in this series with a 2-1 lead late in the third period they had to be thinking just 2 more minutes and 17 seconds and we will be up 3-0 and that much closer to the Stanley Cup. Then the sudden crash as the Panthers tie it up and of course with Las Vegas now downtrodden and forlorn lose quickly in overtime. Oh what could have been, some spirits are low and some are high. Take the high. Take FLORIDA! |

Boston at New York Yankees 7:35 ET Red Sox over Yankees- No Aaron Judge, no Derek Jeter, no chance!Sorry to pull that out but it is true, as Judge goes, so goes New York and they have not won a thing since the Captains retirement. Boston is hanging on about that .500 number but when playing the Yankees every thing is more intense and they are up for the challenge. This hard to take considering I am a New Yorker at heart and Tanner Houch (3-5, 5.46 ERA) is taking the mound for the Red Sox and he is not so well good, but he is facing a team that can not get out of their own way and the league MVP is on the DL. Take BOSTON! |

Here we have Montreal at Home having gone to the playoffs three straight years hosting an Ottawa football team that hasn’t made the playoffs in any of those three years. So, what is the deal...my issue even in a league where you can score a one-point play that with those two resumes why is the home team favored by less the a field goal. Obviously the odds-maker believe that the RedBlacks have a shot at winning this contest outright. I will be happy with an ATS win. Take OTTAWA |

He was electric in that game and I can’t pass him up here. Houston has been the best team on the planet for a number of tears now but Triston is out of this world an will it will be a hard landing for he Astros! J.P.

LA Dodgers at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Phillies over Dodgers- The problem for me here is that I really like the Dodgers Bobby Miller (2-0, 1.06 ERA) who just shut down the Yankees allowing only one hit in six innings and he received a no decision. Miller was the LA No. 1 draft pick in 2020 and that was his third MLB appearance and to date in 17 innings he has surrendered only nine hits with 16 strike outs and only four walks. Aaron Nola (5-4, 4.30) is considered as the Philadelphia (Megabucks winner yesterday 5-4) workhorse and has had mixed results having failed to post a winning season since 2019. Although his numbers do not necessarily show it but he has been throwing really well lately allowing just one hit in seven innings his last time out and he has only given up 67 hits in 82 innings on the year. The Phillies have won six straight and are 37-17 in their last 54 home game while the Dodgers are 2-6 in their last eight road games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Chip’s FREE MLB Winner New York Mets at Pittsburgh 4:05 ET Pirates over Mets- New York never really thought that this 31-year old starter from Japan would be the Mets leading winner with five at any time in the season. Kodai Senga (5-3, 3.75 ERA) is tied with Jason Verlander for most Mets wins and he is off his worst and shortest start of the year lasting just 2.2 innings against the Blue jays surrendering four hits and five walks before given the rest of the night off. The Pirates will send Yohan Odviedo (3-4, 4.29) and he is off his best outing this season. But, the storyline here is the Muts are hurting and just can not win and they are 5-17 in their last 22 road games. Talk has already started about Showalter job security. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Denver at Miami 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- The problem for Miami is that when they get beat they look so bad. When watching them go down you begin to wonder how they got to where they are right now. But, the thing is to remember is that no team is as bad as they look and that they are still professionals and respond in kind.I expect a maximum effort from the Heat tonight and for this game to stay within the margin one way or another.

The Dodgers although a comfortable 9-games over .500 just do not appear to me to be a championship team. They are 16-17 on the road while the Phils are at least 17-10 at home and will have Ranger Suarez who picked up his first victory in his last start his fifth and this will make tow-in-a-row.

BC Lions at Calgary 9:00 ET Stampeders (-) over Lions- In so many ways this is so the CFL, the opener pits two teams who played their final of two preseason games against each other. These two clubs are rated so closely that they both have win totals of 9.5. BC led the CFL in total offense last season and defeated Calgary last week 25-22 as an underdog at home as Lions QB Vernon Adams Jr. went 12-for 12 against a defense of future cuts. Although BC led the CFL in total offense and passing yards last season and had a better defense statistically they are not in a good spot here. It is not to be in the opener...This seems like a home and home series. Take CALGARY! |

Milwaukee will send Colin Rea (3-3, 4.94) who is seeking his fourth straight win.

Denver at Miami 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- It was in 1966 the the Monkeys, the British rock group led by teen idol Davy Jones sang their hit song ‘I’m a believer’ and it has taken me up until now to become a true believer in the Heat. To start with it seems that Miami really does not began to play until they are facing at least a 15-point deficit and more then likely in the second half. When Pat Riley stepped down many said he choose Eric Spoelstra to coach because he would make Riley look better as a head coach and now it is being said that he is the best coach in the NBA. Maybe he is, but that hasn’t stopped the public from playing Denver like no one else is playing in the game. Take MIAMI! |

Milwaukee staged a late 4-3 comeback as Tuesday’s Megabucks Brewers were a winner and they are 29-4 when scoring four runs or more and just 4-24 when they do not. The Orioles will start Dean Kramer (6-2, 4.43 ERA) who has never faced the Brewers while the home team will start former Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.75) who has just one career start against the Brewers a no decision. Baltimore is just 4-11 in inter-league games against opponents with winning records and they are 0-6 in their last six games in the Brew City and 1-8 in their last nine meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

The Orioles are an amazing 20-10 on the road and have won eight of 10 series played away from Camden Yards and have the third best record in all of MLB. Kyle Gibson (7-3, 3.89 ERA) has won his last three starts for the O’s but is just 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA in seven career starts against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:10 ET Redlegs over Brewers- The way things have been going in baseball the past five days I believe it is best to just stay with the A-Play the single strongest play I see on the MLB board today. The meeting seems to be a bit askew with the price as Milwaukee is looking for a 4-game sweep and come up an be underdog to a rookie, left-hander Andrew Abbott (0-0, 0.00) who is making his MLB debut. The Brewers will go with 14 year veteran Julio Teheran (1-1, 0.82 ERA) who make just one appearance in 2022 and only 12 stats the last three seasons. In his career Teheran is 3-4 with a 4.14 ERA in nine career starts against Cincinnati and the Brewers are 2-5 in their last seven against lefties. I know the Reds are not so good but this young hurler started in Double-A and has risen quickly through the system to the bigs. Take CINCINNATI! |

Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Heat- In all three of their previous playoff series No. 8 seed Miami was able to get a jump on the No. 1 Bucks, No. 5 Knicks and No. 2 Celtics in the opening game of the series and that put tremendous pressure on the home clubs. They felt ambushed in a way and that is not something Denver has to worry about. After crushing Phoenix in their final two games of the series the Nuggets swept the Lakers and won their seventh straight over the Heat in Game One. I am sure to hear how Miami will make adjustments and the Game-1 loser is covering with the zigzag concept is they play...well not so fast. Let us take a closer look at this Heat club. To start with they are just 3-9 ATS following a loss by 10 points or more. And I have more, Miami is 9-26 ATS in the lat 35 overall meetings and 0-4 ATS at Mile High. Finally, they are 4-14 ATS in their last 17 with 2 days rest while the Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games on two days rest and we will rest with the Nuggets are 8-3 last 11 at home. Plus they really are a lot better and hungry. Nuggets can shoot the ball and the other side not so much, as they already shot their load in the last three anomalies. Take DENVER! |

Yesterday’s Power Play win with SF should be repeated here Sunday as a Megabucks winner with San Francisco sending Anthony DeScalafani (4-4, 3.48 ERA) to the bump against Baltimore’s Tyler Wells (3-2, 3.29). Wells has been truly amazing allowing just 40 hits in 63 innings pitched all in 11 appearances giving up more than four hits only three times. Traveling west has not been a good experience for the Orioles as they are 4-10 against the NL West and the Giants are 5-2 in their last seven inter-league games. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

But, they are still one of the toughest line-ups to deal with from top to bottom with putting the bat on the ball by keeping it in play as well as leading the MLB in home runs. Tampa Bay has dropped 3-of-5 and will send rookie Tai Bradley (3-2, 3.60 ERA) to the hill and he is off his best performance of the season shutting down the Cubs in a 1-0 victory. Boston will start Tanner Houck (3-4, 5.30) who won his first three decisions the last of which came on April 20 and it has been the long ball that has done him in surrendering seven dingers in just 53 innings. The Rays are just 5-11 in their last 16 road games against teams with winning records and 1-4 in their last five games at Boston while the Red Sox are 5-1 versus the AL East.Take BOSTON! |

New York will send undefeated and Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole (6-0, 2.93 ERA) to the hill and he has been racked for five earned runs in each of his last two starts but was bailed out by a load of Aaron Judge homers. The Dodgers will send rookie Michael Grove (0-1, 8.44) out against what is not such a formidable line-up even with whiff artist Stanton back. Somehow it is LOS ANGELES! |

Baltimore at San Francisco 10:15 ET Giants over Orioles- This seems to be an awful high price to have to pay to back a .500 team against Baltimore who is off to their best start (35-21) since the glory years. But, San Francisco after a slow start to the season has played better ball of late going 17-12 in May while the Orioles keep singing with some of the best young talent in the AL starting to mature as players. Dean Kramer (5-2, 4.58) has had great offensive support while his counterpart from the Giants Logan Webb (4-5, 2.75) has thrown better with less results. What this price is telling me is that Webb who won his last five starts will contain the Orioles offense...and for how long before the bullpen takes over. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

It pains me to play against Texas as I posted them to be the surprise winner (that is one reason I hate making preseason predictions having to pay against my self.) What I see is the home club being given no advantage (by the odds-makers) here when they are a far superior club. Last season the Mariners went 14-5 against Texas including 73 in the Lone Star State. This line is just too short...Take SEATTLE! |
